Yeah I would say TP what is that, I was in the middle east or a while I learned how to use my hand mush cheaper, then offer to shake their hand

According to data others have gathered on this subject, a variety of materials were used in lands and eras prior to the invention of toilet paper:

Newsprint, paper catalogue pages in early US
Discarded sheep's wool in the Viking Age, England
Frayed end of an old anchor cable was used by sailing crews from Spain and Portugal
Straw, hay, grass, corn cobs, Sears Roebuck catalog, mussel shell, newspaper, leaves, sand- United States
Water and your left hand, India
Coconut shells in early Hawaii
Lace was used by French Royalty
Public restrooms in Ancient Rome- A sponge soaked in salt water, on the end of a stick
The wealthy in Ancient Rome-wool and rosewater
French Royalty-lace, hemp
Hemp & wool were used by the elite citizens of the world
Defecating in the river was very common internationally
Bidet; France
Snow and tundra moss were used by early Eskimos

What will you use when the SHTF?

A bear is out in the middle of the woods doing what a bear does in the middle of the woods when a rabbit hops by.

The bear asks, "Do you have a problem with bubblegum sticking to your fur?"

The rabbit says, "no".

So the bear wiped his *** with the rabbit.


I think I'll use rabbit, or get a wild hare up my....

Are you suggesting this is better than the frayed end of an old anchor cable?

 

[66PonyCar]

Maybe if we send them toilet paper they can send us ammo.

 

[Sgt Nambu]

Lot of folks in the poorer areas down there have never had a solid bowel movement.

 

[spider]

oh no you too?

Wild dry grass does an excellent job, snow does too and gets you extra clean but can be a cold.

Whatever you use, watch for poison plant like oak, ivy and sumac and don't for get to keep an eye for ticks, not the place where I want tick or poison ivy.

Also please be sure to do it away form a water source, no since making yourselves or other sick or contaminating a good water source.
